More details to this question:
I am wanting to purchase land with a tenant occupied mobile home. The land surrounding mobile home is pasture land and was used by the owner for grazing until the hurricanes. The tenant is telling current owner that she will not allow me to put my own stock on the property after I buy it. Can she dictate how I can use the property as long as it doesn’t interfere with her dwelling.

Depends on the terms and conditions of the tenancy. You likely take subject to the tenancy, and if the entire property was the subject of the tenancy - not the dwelling - the tenant is correct. This should have been addressed as part of due diligence on your part BEFORE you bought the property.
